"Savage" TeeOur etremely popular new t-shirt features a small white version of our Thunderbird logo on the frong and one of Eddie's favorite quotes from Wyoming mountain man Bill Atkinson on the back. After returning from Vietnam, Bill headed out to the wilderness to live a simple life. A television crew came to do a story on him and the interviewer asked why he continued to live like this — didn't he want to return to civilization? Bill's answer was as profound as it was beautiful: "Civilization has nothing to offer a man once he has become a savage".

Our first Instructional DVD is now available!

6 Rules, 4 Exercises and 9 Steps that make Flintknapping Easy for Everyone!
Since the dawn of time humans have been turning rocks into tools — it's only over the last few decades that we've made it so complicated! Go back-to-basics with this simple-to-follow, easy-to-replicate reduction sequence developed by 25-year veteran knapper, Eddie Starnater. Eddie has been teaching his unique and innovative 9 Step Knapping™ process to Practical Primitive students since 2006 — allowing brand new knappers to produce usable arrow points in a single day!
Whether you are a novice knapper just getting started or someone who has been knapping for a while but are frustrated with your current results, the 9 Step Knapping™ method will have you creating beautifully shaped and thinned points in no time.
Come along for the journey as Practical Primitive's Eddie Starnater and Julie Martin break the ancient art of flintknapping down into 6 Rules, 4 Exercises and 9 Simple Steps that make Flintknapping Easy for Everyone! (Includes Bonus Feature: Arrow Points from Bottle Bottoms)

Practical Primitive's Own "Wonder Salve"
One of our biggest selling products at workshops and Events, "Wonder
Salve" is a one-stop-shop for almost any skin ailment. We've
had folks tell us they have used it with excellent results on Burns,
Bites, Stings, Scrapes, Cuts, Rashes (except poison ivy!) and even Diaper
Rash. Give some a try and we know you'll love it.
We infuse our own oils of Wildcrafted Plantain, Thyme, Wildcrafted Mint

As Eddie likes to say, "It remedies most ailments resulting from Ignorance, Inattention, General Stupidity or Just Plain Old Bad Luck!"
